If I say something right now about the recent russian attacks on the objects of Ukrainian culture it's going to be a long post full of curses.
Instead, I will say this: next time you want to read a book from russian literature or praise russian culture, think about how much culture we will never get to experience because of russians.
And for fuck's sake, read something different.

Two teenagers, Tihran Ohannisian and Mykyta Khanganov, were murdered 3 years ago by Russians for resisting occupation. They were persecuted, kidnapped, tortured, had mock executions, were prevented to escape from the occupied territory and then were killed by Russian troops in occupied Berdiansk. Both were 16 at the time of their murders. Their families were interrogated and persecuted; their bodies were never given back, Russian occupation authorities have reportedly secretly buried the bodies.
Same occupied region, same scenario: two 16-year-old teenagers, Danylo Dakhov and Pavlo Hrymak, were persecuted, tortured and killed by Russians in occupied Melitopol, 2024. Their bodies were also never given back to the families.
i need to get an autopsy out of nezha because what do you mean the saddest man alive was grinning when he finally found his thirteen reason on the forest after bombing said reason's hometown. like. what do you mean the most beautiful man on earth, and even with a scared face mind you, was looking like a monster in the rain just because his expression was uncanny. what do you mean this wet cat actually likes being burned alive even tho he knows he will never die and agonizes over it nonetheless. what do you mean this overpowered kid only wants to protect his loved ones but has done nothing but hurt them every time and time again. like. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BRO
And another thing
Who do you think Griffin thought about in his last moments? Was it Robin? Other Richard's children? Did he also try to remember his mother?
“the parallels between Zuko and Sokka-” hey HEY. I am grabbing you. The parallels between Katara and Azula. Both the younger, gifted bender. Each one being the inverse of the other: a living, breathing what if. Katara being horrified at what her bending can do when pushed to its limits vs Azula always trying to push hers further. Katara instinctively trusting everyone so easily, even though it burns her sometimes, and Azula saying trust is for fools, fear is the only reliable way but still losing everyone she cares about in the end. Katara yelling at her dad and being hugged in return vs Azula doing everything possible to please her father still being harshly reprimanded, so you know exactly why they both turned out the way that they did. Katara’s trauma being connected to losing a mother vs Azula’s being connected to having a mother. Katara ultimately being the one to take down Azula and standing over her, staring pitifully because that’s who she could have been, in another life. is this thing on

Always kinda thinking about the phenomena of what I'm calling 'left behind girls' who are extremely young girl antagonists who are utilised by an older male antagonist (often a father), who very clearly require help, yet are not given any of it, especially in comparison to characters adjacent to them, such as siblings (often brothers). Most often they also have a distant/neglectful mother and seem to carry characteristics of the hyperfeminine "mean girl" character archetype and they often have this weird madonna/whore thing with a female protagonist. Havent yet found a way to fully articulate how I feel about all the characters on this list but I knkw there are more. Like Susan Pevensie from Narnia for example.
They all Haunt me.
Maturity is realizing that Chaghan valued Rin more than Altan
Chaghan never truly believed he could save Altan even though he did try to fix him. He understood him too well Altan was raised as a weapon, shaped by trauma, rage, and the sheer inevitability of self-destruction. Brilliant, powerful, and doomed. And Chaghan, for all his strength, knew there was nothing left in Altan he could reach. His frustration with him was pragmatic, he expected disaster, and disaster came (And we can see all of that in their final argument)
But Rin was different
He didn’t trust her, and he certainly wasn’t on her side (he literally says that ) but he recognized something in her that Altan had lost long before the ability to choose. Rin still had a future that wasn’t predetermined by pain. She was unstable, yes, but aware, and that awareness made her dangerous in a way Altan never was
Chaghan valued Rin not because he felt affection, but because he saw potential.He could guide her, warn her, even challenge her,and yes, fight her too
Their dynamic is full of friction, but it’s also full of mutual respect. Chaghan never saw Rin as an inferior, he helped her most of the time, and you can think "it was because of his loyalty to Altan" At first, yes, it was because he wanted to continue Altan’s legacy and wanted Rin to follow it too
But he realizes that he is everything she has
("Do you have to come?" she asked
"You can’t do it alone. I’m all you’ve got. You have to trust me")
And that is why her mistakes hurt him more
Chaghan valued Rin more because she had a chance to be more. And his disappointment isn’t about her failures it’s about the loss of the possibility he saw in her. Altan’s tragedy was inevitable. Rin’s, in Chaghan’s eyes, didn’t have to be
my breakfast sandwich just blasted thick ropes onto my keyboard fuck my life. She might as well be smoking a cigarette right now look at this
I barely even bit her and she came all over the place. Whore.

Coughed up another rin
When you go back some pages you'll notice that Richard's compared to birds quite often, including the very first time he's introduced to the readers. Crazy how the foreshadowing is painfully obvious, now that you know what it's about
Very interesting to think about how Robin often expressed the duality of his mind, and how he had two names. His "English" name was public, and so was his student identity, but his real, Chinese name, was as concealed from us as the Hermes society to the rest of the world.
Absolutely devastated at how we can never know Robin's real name. At how nobody, not even Griffin ever knew it. Speaking about the latter,his name is also lost in the oblivion

Do you ever think about the fact that among the many pieces of knowledge lost in the revolution was Robin's real name?
It doesn't even matter if people think of him as a hero or a traitor, he will only ever be remembered by a name that was never truly his.
after everything, afterall, i’m most astonished at the audacity of letty calling robin “birdie.”
that’s ramy’s word, not hers. but she uses it knowingly. she knows the power of words, of language, of translation, and yet she’s choosing to steal a word that’s not hers, a word that has meaning and history and love, a word that not even victoire dared use bc she knew it wasn’t hers, that it belonged to ramy and robin alone, all for her own advantage.
she used it time and time again without permission. she used it while ignoring all protests because she sees language as a tool to use, a weapon to wield. all to get ahead. letty’s another cog in the apparatus of white colonialism, exploiting that which doesn’t belong to her.
